STORY: In their third protest since mid-February, farmers rolled into Prague early morning, lining hundreds of tractors along a river road leading to the government offices and snarling traffic and some public transport.
Police said farmers dumped manure, leading to one arrest.
Agriculture Minister Marek Vyborny reiterated the government would not submit to pressure.
Farmers across the EU have taken to the streets this year, calling for the removal of restrictions placed on them by a Green Deal plan to tackle climate change and for customs duties on farm products from Ukraine to be reimposed.
